i think that the fiscal cliff is going to be the action-forcing event. whether or not it occurs december 31 or in the new year, we get some combination of tax reform and a credible, long-term fiscal plan, but i don't think that's going to have stimulus in it. >> i'm talking about real stimulus. not, like, extending unemployment benefit insurance. that's not stimulus. >> no. we've made the transition. the debate now is about how quickly and what's the content of fiscal austerity. what would be helpful is to see different fiscal trajectories in europe and other places around the world that have the actual space. china has the fiscal space to do more and so do a whole host of other emerging markets. europe is having this debate. in fact, the people in france and greece will go to the polls on sunday to cast a ballot for more or less austerity. in the u.s. the debate really is about how quickly, what does that trajectory look like, and can we muster the political will to deal with our fiscal challenges. >> what are the odds of a dollar implosion metaphysical

and push off putting us off the fiscal cliff, get a new speed dump, give us time to find common ground. maybe it's means testing deductions. which raises revenues without raising rates. in fact, there's a great argument and the argument comes from 1986 when reagan and o'neill again lowered the top rate from 78% to 28% and raised revenues in the same taxable year. all because we raised the base upon which the levy was charged which raised more revenue which in the end is the name of the game. my main point, mr. president, is this: we should not be sitting around twiddling our thumbs. the block klochkoff is running. we face a fiscal cliff. there are some in this chamber who said we need to go off of it, we'll pay the price and finally sit down and do what's right. i would with all due respect say that's pretty stupid. we've gone off a cliff one before in 1998 and we're still reeling from it today because we didn't deal fast enough with the decisions we had to make as a congress to address the problems of the people that elected us to come here and manage their afaimpletz affairs. i would

it's very hard to say what's going to happen on the fiscal cliff in the senate. my overriding rule is that if you think about the fiscal cliff right now, whether you're in the white house or your mitch mcconnell, which are trying to devise a some kind of cover for john boehner. the voters last night in the exit polls said that they're willing to take higher taxes but they think the government is too big. that's the deal that banner and obama almost got two years ago. so it's there. is within reach but dana has to be given some kind of cover that he can bring, 140 republican votes with him. it's going to be very difficult to do. obama will have to decide whether he wants to go off the cliff to give it up that preoccupation that we have with bush tax cuts, or whether he's going, the better passers, try to cloak into something big and mushy and do we like tax reform, and stretch it out and let the deal be massaged in such a way to increase revenue and more money for growth. anything to avoid that horrible road called a tax increase. but this is the hard work that is
